I am super curious about the udev triggering, didn’t know thats possible!
Comment on worth selfhosting immich or similar? what about backups?

I backup to a external hard disk that I keep in a fireproof and water resistant safe at home. Each service has its own LVM volume which I snapshot and then backup the snapshots with borg, all into one repository. The backup is triggered by a udev rule so it happens automatically when I plug the drive in; the backup script uses ntfy.sh (running locally) to let me know when it is finished so I can put the drive back in the safe. I can share the script later, if anyone is interested.

I would love to see your script! I’m in desperate need of a better backup strategy for my video projects

This sounds really interesting, please share.

Fireproof safes don’t protect against heat except what’s high enough to combust paper. Temps will still probably be high enough to destroy a drive with a regular fireproof safe.

Please! That sounds like a slick setup.
